QtEmu is a graphical user interface for QEMU written in Qt4. It has the ability to run virtual operating systems on native systems. This way you can easily test a new operating system or try a Live CD on your system without any troubles and dangers.

For more information see the included README file (e.g. install instructions).

Qt 4.1 is required.

I have planned a version which integrates in a KDE4 desktop (build on kdelibs 4).

What it badly lacks is:
a) A good GUI

Re: many features missin

Thanks for your comment.

Most of these features should be quite easy to implement. I'll to them on my TODO list, but my time is at the moment a bit limited to work on this project.
Fell free to do it by your own (it's mostly only copy-past-edit work). You can send me the patches and I'll include them in the next release.

2. Sound. Qemu will emulate a sound-blaster or en1370. Need pane for this.

3. Networking has options, to be implemented I suppose. Simply worked as-is.

4. SHM (insist on it?)

6. Important question: If I am using an image or iso already created, what is the function of the MyMachine/OS/Os.img? Initial snapshot? Possible "nest" for Knoppix or Dynebolic? Option to use mine instead?? Qemu will allow multiple hd "drives" so you might implement as well.

7. USB Tablet? I do not have one. I have a Roland UM1 Midi interface plugged in, no others. Are you running the mouse using this tablet to get it seemless? Would explain all the mouse results (see below). Option not to use this?

Results:

At first, Win98 did not run. Starting adding new hardware already on my image, found driver (USB Tablet) on non-existant D: drive!!! Soon simply stopped. At this point, seemless mouse worked!! Reran, cancelling that driver. Now win98 worked but not seemless mouse.

Dynebolic boots up much slower than in virtualbox so kqemu may not be (fully) utilized. I had successful runs with Dyne 1.4 previously in qemu but 2.* would not run. Knoppix's KDE would not come up either. Both of these work beautifully in VirtualBox.

ReactOS ran and so did Haiku (BeOS). Choosing seemless mouse rendered the mouse inoperative in both of these!

Thanks for your points. I'm going to comment some:
4) Cannot understand.
6) The created image is the default first harddisk. You can change it of course to an already created image.

4. One of the other GUIs had a check for share memory. In fact, I made my shared memory larger to enable larger qemu sessions. There is no qemu command line parameter for this so I guess it is default.

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
